   Caveat:  I bought a digital scale and sent it back.  It was so sensitive   
   to slight body movements on the footplate that the displayed digits were   
   always rapidly changing; it made reading the weight almost impossible.   
      
   I have an old-fashioned mechanical scale now.  Body movements on   
   the footplate make the needle on the dial vibrate slightly but it's   
   still perfectly legible.
